Natural Gas Reservoir Modelling and Simulation

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. explain the basic principles of reservoir modelling; 2. perform basic modelling of hydrocarbon reservoirs from the knowledge of the basic principles in 1 above; 3. comprehend and apply the numerical methods applied in reservoir modelling; 4. perform simulation studies leveraging reservoir rock and fluid and production data; and 5. conduct history matching and production forecast using real life data.

Basic principles of reservoir modelling. Modelling gas, oil and gas condensate reservoir. Numerical techniques (finite difference method, finite element, method of weighted residuals.). Setting up a simulation study, data collection, fluid properties. History matching, performance prediction, case studies, specialised applications, water flooding, gas cycling, infill drilling and miscible flooding.
